Nice GDT, although our record against them is technically 0-0-1, not 0-1-0. The Caps are playing well and have won three straight, including a blowout win over Buffalo, so hopefully the team won't take them lightly.
Not to get too far ahead of ourselves, but if we win and Carolina and Montreal lose, we will technically take over 4th place in the Conference on the basis of our win total. Granted Montreal would have the same number of points and two games in hand, but that's still quite an accomplishment, especially considering how many people were prepared to put our entire management team before the firing squad just three weeks ago.
No problem.
--------------------
According to the Caps site it's not 100% certain that Kolzig will get the start because Johnson has actually better stats against us.
It's be interesting to see, how the team wil respond to the absence of Alfredsson, the Kaps Killa. BTW with Redden out as well does it mean that Philips get's the C?
I think that we are up for a tight game, but this time Emery is between the pipes.
To win the Sens to get the PP working, secondary scoring and solid goaltending from Ray Emery.
Hello Nats fans( in washington the former mlb team the Senators were known as the Nats...which is why the current team, the Nationals, are also called the Nats).
A couple of things of note.
Ottawa: 6th in the east
Washington: 11th in the east
Sounds like such a big difference, eh? OR
Ottawa-28 games/31 pts
Wash-26 games/28 pts
You could call that a tie, if you wanted to.
Interesting that only three eastern conf teams have fewer loses in regulation than the Capitals.
Kolzig should be the goaltender tonight for Washington.
Statistics are amazingly flexible to prove whatever point you're interesting in proving.
Good luck tonight.
What point was I trying to prove exactly? I simply said that it was "interesting".
Washington was a censensus pick for bottom two in the conference and it hasn't been that way. Standings points, not stats, prove that.
The amount of OT games they have played and lost is something that you can gleen from what you want to. I just pointed it out as something interesting.
